Where can I find a Front Line twist-fire control?

Randy!  Sorry to be a pill but have you done anything to fix the bug in Frontline mode?  Just to refresh your memory, the GPWiz should send an always on signal instead of a pulse when in this mode.  Otherwise, between each round or after each death your aim resets to a default and jumps when you turn the rotary.

Also, just a plug for this device: besides this small issue (and another small bug in certain versions of MAME that won't let you use the player 1 rotary inputs) it works great!  Played a ton of Frontline, Wild Western, Tin Star, and Sherrif with it, and I got to like those games so much I bought a Wild Western.

No, MAME interprets the inputs as an 8 way stick, so it can jump to whatever direction is input.
